As former Team India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is reported to have travelled to Shimla along with his family and relatives, it is his new look that has captured the attention of many.
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain is taking a well-deserved break and headed to Shimla after the lockdown had been eased in Himachal Pradesh.
So when photos of him started circulating, it was sure to go viral. In one photo, shared on a fan account, MS Dhoni can be seen wearing Shimla's traditional topi (cap) called 'Kullu topi'.
The wicketkeeper-batsman is also seen with a new moustache – surely not matching one of his old looks and the pictures of the new look went viral in no time. In his current look, the 39-year-old is looking as sharp with a moustache and a stylish beard.
As for Dhoni's visit to Shimla, according to reports, a total of 12 people, including Dhoni are stationed at a homestay in the Mehli area of Shimla. This is the second time that Dhoni has visited the town in the past three years.

As far as the Indian Premier League (IPL) is concerned, Dhoni, led CSK to second place on the points table in the 14th edition.
The 2021 season, which was halted mid-way due to cases among players, will be once again seen in action in the UAE in September this year. IPL 2021 was suspended in the month of May due to rising COVID-19 cases in India.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have already announced that the second phase of IPL 2021 will begin mid-September and CSK will be eager to leave a poor 2020 season behind.
